Stadion Cracovii im. Jozefa Pilsudskiego plays host to Cracovia Krakow versus Wisla Krakow in Ekstraklasa, Regular Season - 31. Kick-off: Saturday 1 May 2027 at 16:00 UTC.

Form & Momentum

Cracovia Krakow have collected 1.10 PPG across 10 Ekstraklasa outings this season: 3W 2D 5L. Last five: L L L W D. They are averaging 1.30 goals per game and conceding 1.60 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets. This season is still relatively young for Cracovia Krakow, so this record blends games from this season and last.

At home at Stadion Cracovii im. Jozefa Pilsudskiego, Cracovia Krakow have gone 3W 5D 2L this season (10 games, 1.40 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.30 goals scored and 1.20 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 70% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture.

Wisla Krakow (all games): 4W 3D 3L across 10 Ekstraklasa outings this term — 1.50 points per game. Last five: D W W L D. They are scoring at 1.50 per game and conceding 1.30. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market. This season is still relatively young for Wisla Krakow, so this record blends games from this season and last.

When travelling in Ekstraklasa this season, Wisla Krakow have posted 0W 3D 3L from 6 away outings — 0.50 PPG. Away from home they average 1.17 goals scored and 1.83 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 67% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context. Their away PPG of 0.50 is notably below their overall 1.50 — form away from home has been a clear weakness this season.

Neither side holds a meaningful form edge. The 1.10 vs 1.50 PPG split is negligible — model and market signals should carry more analytical weight for this one.

In terms of goals, both squads have been finding the net consistently (using home/away splits) — Cracovia Krakow have seen both teams score in 70% of their games, Wisla Krakow in 67%. That combined rate is a strong statistical case for BTTS Yes as a standalone play.

Head-to-Head

Neither side has dominated this fixture. The last 2 head-to-head meetings have produced 0 wins for Cracovia Krakow, 1 for Wisla Krakow and 1 draws — an even split that leaves the H2H largely neutral as a betting input.

Historically, goals have been at a premium in this fixture — just 0.5 per game from 2 meetings. The Under 2.5 has a clear base rate from the H2H record alone. The most recent clash, on 1 May 2022, ended 0–0 with a draw.

With a balanced win record and just 0.5 goals per game historically, the H2H points toward a tight, low-scoring contest. Under 2.5 goals has the strongest statistical grounding from the fixture history regardless of which side wins.

Trading & In-Play

Cracovia Krakow — key trading statistics (11 games, 6 at home): they score before half-time in 67% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 67% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 67% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 36%; they fail to score in 36% of games.

Wisla Krakow — key trading statistics (11 games, 6 at away): they score before half-time in 83% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 67% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 67% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 67% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (away games).

From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Cracovia Krakow 64% and Wisla Krakow 64% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Cracovia Krakow 54% | Wisla Krakow 54%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Cracovia Krakow 1.70 xG and Wisla Krakow 1.00 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Cracovia Krakow attack 1.025 / defence 0.950 | Wisla Krakow attack 0.788 / defence 1.075. League average goals — home 1.539 / away 1.332. Data: 45 Cracovia Krakow games / 11 Wisla Krakow games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Cracovia Krakow 50% | Draw 31% | Wisla Krakow 19%. Fair-value odds: Cracovia Krakow 2.00 | Draw 3.23 | Wisla Krakow 5.26. Cracovia Krakow hold a narrow Poisson edge at 50% — the draw (31%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 50% | BTTS probability 55% | Total xG 2.69. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 50%/50% — the total xG of 2.69 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 55% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Cracovia Krakow as the most likely outcome at 50% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 31% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Cracovia Krakow if the outright odds are short.

Poisson projects 2.69 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 50% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by form averaging 2.8 goals per game.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 55% on Yes. Form rates corroborate: Cracovia Krakow 70% | Wisla Krakow 67% BTTS from recent games.
